As he walked, Ji Zhiyao was still pondering over where he was lagging. Being deep in his thoughts as he walked, he almost knocked in Hyun Woo who was also getting water.

Ji Zhiyao smiled apologetically, then used English and gestures to apologize. Hyun Woo smiled, saying “it’s okay”, then asked, “Yao, are you getting used to playing in Korean servers?”

This question was a little sudden, Ji Zhiyao was slightly surprised, but still replied after giving it some thought. “Quite alright, feels like after familiarizing myself with it for a few days, it is not as difficult as I imagined it to be.”

“Sometimes it’s really hard to believe that you’ve been playing professionally for less than two years, your adaptability is strong and your individual capability is good too.” The pace at which Hyun Woo was speaking was slightly slow, but his intonation was very comfortable to listen to. “Mix battleteam’s internal atmosphere is great too, you guys are at the top of the list amongst the China battleteams that I’ve met.”

Ji Zhiyao was still feeling rather embarrassed when he heard the front part of his speech, then he heard Hyun Woo go on to praise his battleteam, a sense of pride welled up in him. His favorable impression of Hyun Woo was also growing. If it wasn’t because he was still not as close to Hyun Woo, Ji Zhiyao would definitely be patting his shoulder and praising his taste right now… Yet Ji Zhiyao could only reply very humbly, “No no, most of the China battleteams are all united and harmonious.”

Hyun Woo smiled, “Your team is very strong too, it’s hard to avoid being distracted when it’s your first time competing in Korean servers, it’s very normal that you guys could not bring out your true capabilities when going against a professional team. I look forward to when you guys are ready and pull out all the stops for another match with us.”

Ji Zhiyao’s smile vanished as his expression became slightly solemn. “Sorry, I do not agree. Vita battleteam is a professional team, so is Mix. Though we’re in a division that we’re not familiar with, the team’s capability should not be affected because of that. This time, it’s the mistakes of us members, it does not mean that we did not do our best. We are very serious when playing every competition, this is the basic quality of a professional player.”

Hyun Woo appeared to be slightly surprised, he apologized profusely. “Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. Please do not think more of it.”

“I won’t.”

“I agreed to play a match with Qee earlier, I’ve been out for some time already, I shall go back.”

Ji Zhiyao nodded lightly, then watched Hyun Woo leave the kitchen.

When he was sure that he had left, Ji Zhiyao then rolled his eyes.

He actually questioned that their attitudes weren’t serious? The extent of their seriousness when gaming and bantering were directly proportionate alright!

Ji Zhiyao took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and chugged it. Midway, he heard his Captain’s voice from beside him, saying, “No one is fighting you for it, drink slower.”

Ji Zhiyao almost choked. He put the bottle down and saw Mo Huaifeng who don’t know when, had walked into the kitchen and asked, “Captain, why did you come out?”

Mo Huaifeng also took a bottle of water from the refrigerator. “To drink water.”

“Oh.”

“At the same time check if you’ve been stolen by anyone.”

Ji Zhiyao was confused. “What? Who would steal me?”

Mo Huaifeng thought back to the scene from a few days ago when Hyun Woo intentionally made conversation with Ji Zhiyao and instantly felt upset all over. He snickered, “Just in case.”

Ji Zhiyao felt that it was as if Captain and he were on different frequencies.

He drank another mouthful of water, recalling Hyun Woo’s words from earlier, he was still a little angered. “Captain, for tomorrow’s training we must hold Vita down and ruffle them against the ground, it’s best if it’s the kind where they end up kneeling and calling us daddies.”

“Why? Suddenly came to your senses and realized that you’ve been too nice to the opponents?”

“Bullsh*t! It’s because Hyun Woo blabbered about a lot to me just now, I think he had seriously questioned the professional attitudes of China eSports.”

“Why is he everywhere?” Mo Huaifeng frowned in displeasure, Ji Zhiyao did not hear him clearly and leaned over to ask, “What, Captain what did you say?”

Mo Huaifeng pulled a long face. “I was telling you that it’s not too late to wake up now, do well in the next time we compete.”

Ji Zhiyao was still filled with righteous indignation. “I definitely will!”

In a twinkling of an eye, he recalled his previous ranked match where he played lousily and was suddenly discouraged. “I tried the speed class style earlier, feels like it’s really not that simple.”

Mo Huaifeng looked up as the corner of his lips lifted. “If it was simple, such professional players would probably be everywhere now.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Ji Zhiyao sighed and asked, looking slightly troubled, “Then what should I do, I don’t know how to practice that.”

“First focus on foundational training, before you think about the others, it’s impossible to attain the highest level in one step.”

Ji Zhiyao agreed with that. At the bottom of it all, it was still because his own hand speed couldn’t keep up with the speed of his champion. As long as his hand speed and reaction capacity becomes a little more heightened, things might be different. Hence he nodded and said very confidently, “Alright, then I shall train more on the colored blocks program today.”

Mo Huaifeng made an “mm” sound, holding his bottle, he said, “Let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

Both of them walked into the training room together.

Both of the stats analyzer still seemed to be in discussion, the way they were squatted in the corner looked especially similar to two huge mushrooms growing… Ji Zhiyao chucked silently, then returned to his own seat, put on his ear-mic and launched the colored blocks program.

This time, he trained on it continuously for one and a half hours, his results also went from yesterday’s 20 something seconds to 33 seconds today.

He was advancing really quickly, Ji Zhiyao thought to himself, feeling very satisfied.

If he continued like this, in a few days’ time, he would be surpassing Captain and going right for A.K..

Wonderful.

At this time, the two stats analyzers finally arrived at an outcome from their discussion. Lee Sung Dae called all five Vita members to a side, the stats analyzer also gathered the seven people from Mix together. Holding his clipboard, he read out fiercely, “From tomorrow onwards, K and Heng, on top of normal training hours, both of you are to train for an extra two hours.”

This day still arrived after all.

Yet in the match earlier, it was indeed the both of them who had the most problems surface. It could also be said that, within Mix, they were weaker links. Training an extra two hours was something that they ought to do.

They did not feel any indignation, only feeling a slight urge to sob.

Just when the both of them brothers in trouble were hugging each other and the others happily taking pleasure in their misfortune, Ji Zhiyao suddenly heard the stats analyzer call him. “NoHomo, you too.”

The others were also very dumbfounded. The stats analyzer rolled his eyes. “Captain has already talked to me, and also agreed to you training extra. As to why you have to, you should know it yourself?”

The corner of Ji Zhiyao’s lips twitched. “I do I do.”

Wasn’t it to train his hand speed and response, he knew that, why did he have to mention Captain all the time.

Would he not listen if Captain wasn’t brought out? He was totally underestimating him!

But the other team mates still did not know what was going on. Xiao asked, “Old Ning, my boy played pretty well, what exactly is wrong?”
